The construction of a ski helmet shell significantly impacts its weight, durability, and cost. ABS Hardshell construction uses a thick, durable, injection-molded ABS plastic shell that is bonded to a separate EPS foam liner. This method is incredibly resilient against dings and scratches, making it an excellent choice for park riders, kids' helmets, or rental programs. In-Mold construction fuses a much thinner polycarbonate shell directly to the EPS foam liner in the mold. This creates a single, lightweight unit. An in-mold ski helmet is the go-to choice for all-mountain riders, backcountry enthusiasts, and anyone who prioritizes low weight and a sleek, low-profile fit. As an OEM manufacturer, SPIRIT has mastered both techniques, allowing brands to choose the construction that best fits their target market's needs and price point.

Achieving a perfect, gap-free fit between your ski helmet and goggles is essential for comfort and performance. The key is to treat them as a system. When choosing a helmet, look for a design with a smooth, curved brim that is designed to interface with a wide range of goggle frames. The best way to ensure compatibility is to try the helmet on with the goggles you intend to wear. The goggle frame should sit snugly against the front of the helmet, with no significant gap of exposed forehead (the "goggle gap"). A well-designed helmet from a manufacturer like SPIRIT will also have a channel or indentation for the goggle strap and a secure clip at the back to hold it in place. This seamless fit prevents cold air from getting in and helps anti-fog systems work effectively.

For most skiers and snowboarders, a MIPS-equipped ski helmet is a worthwhile investment in safety. MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a technology specifically designed to address rotational forces, which are common in skiing falls where you might catch an edge and twist as you impact the snow. A MIPS liner allows the helmet to rotate slightly on your head during these angled impacts, redirecting and reducing the harmful rotational energy that can be transferred to the brain. While a non-MIPS helmet provides excellent protection against direct impacts, the added dimension of protection against rotational forces offered by MIPS is a significant safety upgrade. For brands, offering MIPS in a ski helmet line signals a strong commitment to providing the latest and most comprehensive safety technology.
